So are you enjoying the rain?
Or hating it?!? One thing is for sure...we needed it, and
the landscape is happier. Forecasters said we may get over an inch of rain
by the end of Monday, with more 
expected over the next couple of days.
A mudslide in Talmadge this afternoon prompted fears of evacuations. Mud flowing down the hill in the 4700 block of Aldine Drive threatened a large Eucalyptus tree and worried some residents.
The mountains could get as much as three or four inches of rain, with six inches of snow falling at about 4,500 feet.

Enjoy this annual tradition from the UHCA. Don’t miss this holiday fun! Refreshments will be provided at each stop.

With an intimate evening at Kous Kous, 3940 Fourth Avenue (below Martinis) you may enjoy a culinary getaway to exotic delights from halfway around the world without leaving Hillcrest. Your host Moumen Nouri and his outgoing staff will make you feel as if you’re at an intimate dinner party with bright, witty friends who will educate you about the cooking of their homeland. Our favorites are Lamb Shank Tagine with “Ras el hanout” & honey sauce, caramelized dry fruit, toasted almonds & sesame seeds and Chicken Tagine (right) wonderfully braised in garlic, ginger and saffron sauce, with olives & lemon preserves. Movie classics such as “Casablanca”, “Roman Holiday” or “The Man Who Knew Too Much” silently add to their homey ambience. Kous Kous meals are delicious, authentic and the perfect way to celebrate the holidays. YUM

After 16 years of being represented by lesbian councilwomen, District 3 has our first gay councilman. Todd Gloria walked to this morning’s Golden Hall inaugural ceremony from Sixth & Laurel with dozens of supporters. In his address, Todd promised to represent our interests with his top priorities being public safety, improvements to streets and other public works.
Congratulations, Todd
